"Who is up for 9ths?" The Once-Ler asked during breakfast. He was holding a giant stack of pancakes.

Most of the Bears,fishes,and birds were overstuffed. One of the fishes could've been mistaken for a ball,which is why I told him to lay off food for a while. "Alright." Lorax muttered,"bring it over."

Then,there was a rumble,which gradually grew louder and louder. We all raced out to see what was going on,and sure enough a mob of people was marching down the hill,singing about the Thneed. Most of the animals fled,never been in contact of this much people.

As they sang the Lorax and the Once-Ler found each other hugging the other. But they didn't care. Of course,Ash and I have never been in contact with this much people,so we followed their example. The mob of people surrounded the Once-Ler,a big wad of green paper was held in their hands.

"Mom," the Once-ler shouted into a small black thing. "I did it,you have to come down here with the family. WE'RE GONNA BE RICH!!!!!" Then he noticed us glaring at him. He better not be doing what I think he's doing.....

"What?" He asked,"I'm gonna need all the help I can get."

Ash and I sighed,Pipsqueak and Pikachu were nearby dancing to the music. I have a bad feeling about this...

The Next Day....

As I walked through the forest with Pipsqueak the sound of a horn rang throughout the vicinity. When we turned around a truck nearly crushed us. I only managed to see a woman with blond hair.

"Let's check it out," I muttered towards Pipsqueak,who nodded his head in agreement,and started running back to the Once-Ler's house. Ash and the Lorax stood next to him,who had a big smile on his face as the door opened like an alien ship on those movies. A fat woman with orange hair stepped out slowly and observed the area.

"What a dump." She announced,then walked away from the door so someone else could get through.Ash had to grip onto my shoulder to stop me from tackling her.

"Hey Aunt Griselda!!" The Once-Ler said waving his hand.

Next two twin brothers stepped off. They must've been dumb...by the look of their faces.

"Hey Chett,go long." He grabbed a bear,at the same time Ash and I started walking but he already threw it. The other twin kept running until he ran into a tree. The bear,thankfully,landed in a truffle tree and fell on the boy's face.

"He totally missed it." The twin who was next to Once-Ler shouted,high fiving him hard. When he wasn't looking the Once-Ler held his at, in pain.

"Oncie?" The woman with blond hair walked out,around her neck was a dead animal. "Look away." Ash muttered,we turned our heads away simultaneously.

"I'm so glad in how big of a success you are."She praised,giving Once-Ler a hug. While she did,Lorax touched the dead animal's nose in fear.

"Thanks mom." Once-Ler said,"I'm just happy I proved to you I could be a success."

The woman waved him off,"Oh I was just saying that to motivate you sweetie."

Once-led sighed in relief,"I'm actually really glad you clarified that because it hurt my feelings for a really long time."

A short man who must've been his dad stepped in,"Hey,I love this guy."

This family doesn't really seem....what's the word...fit, for being in the forest.

"CHETT,BRETT,START THE CAR," The woman boomed. Suddenly,their small car was turned into a giant tent that overshadowed both us and the Once-Ler's home. A bird flew into a circular object at the very top. (Satellite dish)

Alright,we've had enough of this nonsense.

"Alright everyone stop,don't move,just stop." The Lorax said,stepping in between us and the Once-Ler's crazy family . "You all have to leave now."

Aunt Gresilda laughed half heartily, "Who invited the furry peanut." Oh SHE DID NOT!!!!!!

"I'll go right up your nose." To stop him from actually doing that Ash and I grabbed onto him so he couldn't move. "Alright,you can't fight with a woman." The Once-Ler spoke.

     We all froze on the spot. "That's a woman?" Lorax asked, chucking his thmb towards Aunt Griselda. The family gasped, Ash and I however smirked. "Okay, timeout."

       "We're all gonna get along okay? Look, "Once-Ler started, grabbing our arms and putting us next to Lorax,"I need my family to help me with this. You have to trust us."

     "Raisin cookies that look like chocolate cookies are the reason why we have trust issues." I muttered to Ash, who nodded his head in agreement. The Once-Ler glared at id but kept talking.

     "I'm still gonna keep my promise, no cutting down trees."

     "Yeah, alright. But tell your brothers boy to mess with the animals. Otherwise we'll do something about it." Ash spoke, trying to look intimidating.

      "Alright alright. If my family help we're gonna be HUGE!!!" The Lorax sighed.

   "Which way does a tree fall?"

   "Uh....down?" That's not the answer braniac.

"The tree falls-"

"Where is leans." Ash and I interrupted, then turned our heel and started walking away. This family is just going to make it worse.
